[ i'm off to penang XD ]

it's already been two days of the holidays.. ahh, that just sucks because it hasn't been much of a holiday. had two project meetings for two different subjects ...on two different days ^^;;

today was extra tiring since with only less than 6 hrs of sleep -_- i had to lug my laptop all around town for no reason. well, actually there was, but we'd used it for just a bit. and lucky us there was wifi in that area.

tomorrow however, my family's going up north for a 'sorta' holiday. i hope it turns out good. ahh~~ the beach! 4 blissful days at the beach XD XD

my aunt & uncle are celebrating their 25th anniversary this saturday. don't see what's the big idea but well.. it has been a while since anyone had a party and the beach is always fun! the best part is... we don't have to dress up! *yay*

i hate dressing up. it's bad already that i don't wear dresses and uhh.... skirts -___- but when you see your relatives (whom you coincidentally hate), they will start their usual nonsense and comment on how you should be more like this & like that. urgh!

did i mention how much i loved the beach yet? =D

arghh.. 5 days without my precious computer & broadband *sniff*. how will i ever survive!! i'm just hoping to get back some inspiration. i've been in a muse-rut (if there's such a thing) for a long time... and *looks at certain unfinished fic* i just don't know how to continue -_-;;

maybe because i just don't care anymore.... arghh.. whatever.. that story is for another day! goodbye my squishies... don't miss me =)

*Planet Funk's Chase the sun tone rings* Wakes up suddenly and looks at the time, in that same instant calculate that there's been enough sleep for the night.

Looks at the phone and thinks 'Nalini? Oh must be her mom'. Answers phone, "Hello?".
In cheery voice, "Hi. How are you? This is Nalini's mom."
"Hi aunty, I'm fine and you?"
"I'm good too. I wanted to tell you that I have something for you. You see, Nalini passed something for you through her cousin and I thought I better give it to you before I go to Penang."
"Oh, you're also going to Penang? Haha..."
"You also going ah? Hehe.. so is it okay if I came by in about 20-30 minutes?"
"Yes sure aunty.. it's not a problem."
"Okay, see you then!"
"Bye!"

Get's up from bed and heads for the shower. Just when finished showering, there's a bang on the room door. "What?"
"There's someone here for you! Outside."
"Here already?" Looks at clock then thinks, 'But it's not even 15 minutes'. Quickly jumps into some clothes and rushes to meet the guest.
About to enter house by house owner but stops midway and says, "Hi!"
"Hi!"
Something said too quickly which couldn't be remembered and suddenly walking towards the car. "The present is in the car."
Wonders, 'Is it really that big that I'll have to carry it out of the car?' "So where is Nalini coming back?"
"Not sure yet lar... she still has a few things to do there."
"Yeah, I guess since she's moving and all--"
Upon reaching the car a head pops up from hiding. It was Nalini!

*Insert screams [not exactly screaming] of surprises and oh-my-gods here*

5 minute catch up and see you laters.

girl, that was some shock you gave me =p and i'm glad you are back! a bit bad timing since i'm gonna be very busy the next 2 days and then off to penang til sunday! so many things to do!! how to cram everything at the same time! =p

cf, you, projects, penang trip, you, projects, presentations, you... lol! =)

discover what candy you are @ quiz me.

mm... gummi bears XD

on to other things. it has been decided that we're going to penang this wednesday. that means i gotta finish one project by monday and another as soon as i come back! while everyone else i holidaying, i still have college.. -__-. well, at least i got 1 week off. and i tell you, so far that's the longest ever holiday i've had from college. urgh.. now i know why i just don't wanna do anymore work. it's because i'm in need of a carefree, worry-free holiday! let's just hope this trip to penang works out well.

why am i going to penang? family/relatives party. my aunt's 25th (silver) anniversary. so they're having a big do by the beach. it's a good thing since i like beaches. the only problem is that since we're going 3 days in advance to the actual event (the party is on saturday) i was hoping we stayed at golden sands or at least by the beach.. but nooooooooo~~ some idiot aunts of mine wanna stay at some crappy apartment so far away from the beach (near to my aunt in penang's house). confused? well my dad has 3 sisters. one in penang, and two in kl. and one more brother also in kl. so my uncle had already made bookings for 2 rooms at golden sands and we (everyone in my family except my dad) thought, 'hey this would be fun! at least for once we WOULD enjoy our trip in penang. because everytime we went there we always, i mean NEVER ONCE, not stayed at my aunt's place. which is so bloody boring!!!

and here these morons (referring to my two aunts in kl) wanna stay at that aparments. urgh! and it seems there's some wedding going on at the same time, 1 or 2 days earlier to the party, and they're planning to go help. now if we stayed in those apartments with them, means we'd be dragged to go HELP!!! what the hell man.. it's a holiday. i didn't plan to go do work on a holiday. and heck, i'm in need of a holiday!!

dumb ass ppl. oh yeah, and you know what's even dumber?? my dad brains. he can't.. urgh! he says he wants to go to penang n all.. you know... because it's where he's from and everytime we go we end up staying at my aunt's place and going to either sunshine square or bukit jambul club. what kinda trip is that? what's the point of going in the first place then?? we wanna enjoy the frikin' beach lar!!

the only hope is now for my uncle to persuade my dad to stay at the hotel. at least then my cousins would be there to. so much more fun, so much more things to do! -_____-

some ppl.... are just plain spoilers!

it is confirmed that i'm currently obssessed with kubota makoto. just look at my current desktop [wallpaper]. a bit big... so may take some time downloading!

[ GITS frenzy ]

[ -_________________- ]

have you ever had a dream come true? or woke up from one, then having a sinking feeling after that? like maybe someone was trying to tell or warn you about something...


i went to college today at 8.30am. we had an early class then had a 3 1/2 hour break. in that 3 hours or so we, my course mates and i, were "reading" our notes because we had a test after that. a test which contributes 50% to our incourse... and this is an incourse subject after all [that means no exam at the end] so quite important.

anyways... while we were at the syndicate room [place where students 'hang' out & have 'meetings'] another two of our course mates come in and ask whether we'd checked our results. results for our exams the last semester and we were so unprepared to 'receive' marks at that moment. but since one of my friends had her laptop with her [and was online] we decided to check... one by one.

to my utter disappointment.. i only got a 6 and 7. that means 3rd class for a crappy subject which we're planning to burn the lecturer's house for and another 2nd lower for one which i'd expected much higher for. at leasta freakin' 2nd upper lar!!!

now the dreams of even getting a 2nd class upper for my degree seems very difficult. i have to score at least 12s for another 7 subjects [four of which was my fyp and there's nothing i can do about that] and another 3 which i'm doing now. can't quite guess what i'd get for fyp.... so i have to aim for 14s. that's gonna be such a miracle. considering we'd just done our test [50% of total marks] for one subjects. that leaves two more. one out of THAT two is... just.. plain...

._.

and so in the dream we were like getting our results n all.. but this one was actually the entire thing. the whole degree itself. and when i went to get mine.. the guy said i'd an overall of 2nd lower. a course mate of mine who was in that same dream got 1st class. quite a disappointing feeling it was when i woke up... but i didn't let it get to me of course. it was simply just a fucked up dream.


....or maybe it was just a coincidence.

okay... tried cutting the wood but it was quite difficult. i need to buy a bigger saw. the one i'm using is small and will take ages to cut since my sword is suppose to be really long! urgh.. ope it turns out alright. because at the moment what i know is akabane's sword is slim, really long and red. unless i'm wrong! ^^;;

and....... pics of my hair before & midst. there'll be an "after" one when i straighten it. yep, don't be deceived by midst picture because my hair is not straight as yet. after i woke up this morning, it's gone back to being the crap that it is!

just cut my hair..... 4 inches shorter. i was thinking of more til my shoulders but the hairdresser was like because my is curly/wavy, it would just stick out if it's short... so better leave it longer. well, guess akabane will just have to do with slightly longer-than-normal hair -_-;;

took some pics too.... lol! got my brother to take 'em and there's one really freaky one. was "posing" and the eye bit looked really weird. he couldn't stop laughing! since the hairdresser blew my hair straight.. it's all nice now... until tmr that is so.. better take pic quick before it turns ugly again. will think about posting it up.. lol! i also took one [very weird one] before i went to cut it. it's the longest i'd ever kept so... want to remember the length :p

other than that... i didn't do much but the day flew by quite quickly. watching matrix tmr!!! well, more than 24hrs away lar. still gotta wait.

starting my guitar classes again tmr. damn rusty!! i tried playing the piano and it was a DISASTER! just opening the lid, dust was all over.. ended up sneezing. cleaned it a bit, it's still dirty though.. need to clean it again soon! and the piano... gosh so out of tune!!! and the funniest part was... after i started playing, my neighbour accross my road started playing too. for months before that i'd not heard anyone on my street play the piano and then when i do... suddenly some people had an urge to play too. what a joke! :)

i can't remember the songs i used to play. as i open the books i couldn't even remember where the notes were!!! i mostly played from memory.. you know like how once you get a flow of a song you've played many times before, you sort of remember where the fingering goes next. i think out of all the songs i played today, chopsticks was the most successful!! :p

[ finally!! ]

i think i'm starting to go back to normal.... what???? dun look at me like that!

i actually accomplished a lot today. first, sign up & start at a gym. long over due!!! after that went to mid valley to buy matrix tickets. wanted to watch on friday night but all the good seats are taken so, got saturday. brothers are going today though :)

hmm.... that means... i get the pc tonight!!!!!!!!!! hahahaha!! can play RO some more!!! :p

*ahem*

what else.. yeah went to see the tailor, she said i can get my coat by the 28th of this month. i also bought the wood n stuffs to make the sword today. was gonna clear up my room too... y'know, like do everything i can today itself but decided i'd be too tired and might not finish clearing up in the midst.

this is what it looks like now!! haha.... will post an "after" pic when i do get around to doing it. hmm.... have to ask my mom now whether we're still on for klcc.

yes, you know what that means.... WA03!!!!! XD XD

[ final year project ]

it's done! it's done...

*dances a jiggly jig* <-- assuming that made sense

i did my presentation all... surprisingly i wasn't nervous. well, i didn't even feel queasy [which i normally do] but i guess this time i didn't. i knew i was repeating myself a thousand times while presenting... so much so i noticed my accessor's bored look [a yawn of hers openly shown]. hehe... but in the end, everything went smoothly, she didn't ask me much.. just barely and even when she did i managed to answer her.

did the system demo, everything worked.. and then i was asked to leave the room for a while [this was after say 35 minutes of my presentation]. i was thinking *hum hum hum hum hum*. they spoke for barely a few minutes and then she comes out and says "thank you & good job". i was like 'phew'.

went to see my supervisor [whom i just wanna thank over & over again because he'd helped me out on one part when i guess what i was trying to explain to the accessor but she wasn't quite getting it] and he told me that i passed and that i can get high marks for my fyp!!!! XD XD XD XD

well, i dun feel anything as yet lar. no joy whatsoever. no feeling of relief either. i was suppose to be bouncing around college damnit! oh well... it's over. finally! and i've passed.


matrix 3 coming out on thursday!!! wheeee~~~ what a nice way to celebrate. most probs be watching it with a friend of mine on friday. yep... should be fun. well of course it will!!!!!!!! i've only been waiting for it since matrix 1. haha!!

another good news would be that i can finally also get my coat done.

*dreams of akabane silently for a few moments* sigh...

will be getting the cloth and then seeing that tailor again. after that....... hmm... maybe i'll go to klcc and COLLECT WILD ADAPTER VOL 3 from kino :O)

la la la la la la.... la la la la la *sings in smurfs tune*


now, to try installing RO [for the last time] with my new graphics card ^^

wheeeee wheeee~~

kino called me today and told me my order for WA vol 3 has arrived!!!! wheeeee~~~

btw, when those of you who wanted the WA song and who have downloaded it [see links], pls lemme know so that i can upload the other ones ^^

now, to prepare for my fyp presentation this tuesday! yep, it's out and panic has not stricken me yet! :O)

[ much ado about blogging ]

Thursday:
went to town today. and quite a tiring day it was... my legs were hurting like hell at night.

it's interesting too because i sorta had a self tour of the place. lol! anyways, this is how it began. first took the monorail from brickfields, almost got lost when i stopped at the imbi station because all of a sudden, times square is in front of me O_o. after asking for directions from a lady working at starbucks, which was pretty useless, i managed to find my way to low yatt. as i was about to reach there, the sole of my shoe came out, even after i'd glued it back before leaving the house!! stupid good-for-nothing glue! gave a call to my friend, whom i met there, and went to search for a proper adhesive.

i first tried elephant glue [bonds in 10 seconds it seems] but came off just as we were about to go up [that's where the main stuffs are :p]. so went back to the same shop and found a glue especially for shoes [why didn't i see that before?]. finally in the end it stuck, and is still in usable order. or else i'll have to either buy a new pair of boots for cf or use the higher heeled ones [which i don't intend to since i'll probably be wearing it for hours!!].

so, spent about 2 hours there, roaming around, looking at the stuffs each shop had, surveying their prices.. and in the end bought a new graphics card [msi g4 64mb], a vcd [vampire journals], two dvds [dances with wolves & akira].. cdrs [duh!], a mouse [logitech], two mp3 cds [ayumi hamasaki collection & enigma] and 1 software cd [windows xp] :)

once done there, had lunch at this "japanese noodles" place, went to federal hotel [that's where my friend was staying. well, actually her mom was having some seminar there so she decided to bunk in the hotel with her and take the opportunity to see town. free also what :p] dropped off the things she bought and then walked to times square. the place was quite dead.. barely any shops were open. we went there just to check out with our own eyes what the hype was all about.

was trying to find the theme park, but no signage again [what lar these ppl!!] and as we were about to leave two foreigners asked us if we knew where it was -_-". should've told them "follow the screams, and you'll find it" but of course all good answers come to us way after the perfect moment. but then again, they would've looked at us funny and go "huh?". passed by some oogling morons, who needs to wash their brains with chlorox, and bid my friend a good day. haha!

i decided to go to klcc to meet my brother. his college is near klcc and he finished class so thought i'd meet him there & then go back. so the plan was to take the monorail, stop at bukit nanas, then take the light transit rail [lrt] from the dang wangi station [an interchange] but after i got down from the monorail i couldn't find the damn station... very very bad signage!!! actually, i don't think there was any! so i started walking...

where i got down from the monorail was the road where hard rock is located. so i walked all the way from hard rock to klcc. gah!!! passed by the "happening" place [not so happening of course at 4pm], they were putting up halloween decorations n stuff. it was so hot!! fortunately i had some water left with me -_-'' and again, fortunate for me i wasn't the only one walking on that road towards klcc. i was trying to figure out how to cross the main road, but as i came closer i found there was a more suitable way to enter klcc.

met my brother there, went to the kino to check if anything was new in, found out zero sum is out today [saturday], then took the lrt home... only to know that my mom couldn't pick us up from the station, so we took the bus which stopped at the bottom of our road and had to walk up..... again!! so, that's why my legs are aching :p a lot of walking ^^

Present day:
surprisingly my legs were fine the next day. hehe... as for today, did a number of things some people would be proud of and perhaps weirded out too. before going to the tailor... yes, i did say TAILOR!! XD XD

as i was saying... before going to the tailor, we had to transfer a queen sized mattress from our house to my grandmother's house. now, with only equipped with a car, how do you suppose we do that? with the added advantage that my grandmother literally lives down my road [down the road and across the junction :p] we decided to place the mattress on the hood of the car.

-_-;;;;

you heard me right. the hood of the car!! so 4 of us [including driver] held on to the handles [fortunately placed on the sides of the bed] from the inside of the car through the windows. i wanted to take a picture but the battery of my digicam died. arghh!! otherwise i would've posted the pic here for all to see :p. it was hillarious, and embarassing too of course! had a few ppl looking at us from their cars and laughing. it was even funnier when we were at the junction [to cross the road] a car slowed down and you can see these big grins on their faces ^^;;; they're probably still thinking about it [as my friend had said].

and later went to the tailor. said she can do the coat in 3 weeks [which is super!] and quoted me rm150 without cloth & linen.

*sees monnies flying out of window* ^$$$^

will be buying the cloth next week and see her again on tuesday. XD XD
